The Public Safety Liaison (PSL) Unit is made up of four non-certified team members who provide critical support to the Acworth Police Department. Each PSL is assigned to a patrol shift and performs duties that do not require the authority of a certified officer.
The primary responsibility of the PSL team is transporting detainees to the appropriate detention facility. This unit was established following the closure of the Acworth City Jail and helps ensure that patrol officers remain available to serve the community, rather than being tied up with extended prisoner transports.
Currently, Acworth detainees are transported to either the City of Smyrna Adult Detention Center or the Cobb County Adult Detention Center, depending on circumstances. Because of this, individuals wishing to locate someone who has been arrested should first contact the Acworth Police Department to confirm which facility the detainee is being held at.
